Short answer: the Xenns Mangird Top Pro. It ranks #335 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $499; the TIMSOK TS-316 ranks #436, rated 4.0/5, at $499. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.
Why pick the Xenns Mangird Top Pro: The median of 17 hobbyist measurements gives it a very good Harman preference score of 75 with a 1.65 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1.3 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. The tradeoff: Presence sits about 4.4 dB low with a 6.4 dB dip near 5.6 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
Why pick the TIMSOK TS-316: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 74 against the Harman target. Watch for: The rating reflects sound quality only; comfort, build and noise isolation are not part of the score.
Buy the Xenns Mangird Top Pro. It is rated higher for sound quality than the TIMSOK TS-316 at the same price, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.

Frequency Response Compared
Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
